As you were marching, when did you first sense that something was wrong?
What did you see? What did you feel?

WILLIAM LUCY:

Ah, while we were marching, I
was about in the first one-third of the march as I could
tell at that point. Ah, and we began to hear, ah,
windows breaking, ah, we began to hear, you know, loud
rustling and uneasiness among the marchers. Ah, and
there hadn't, been no violence in whatsoever in the
march, and certainly none encouraged by the union. But
we couldn't quite figure out what was taking place. And
then we began to see individuals who were stepping out
of the march, ah, and, and, and, ah, throwing things at
windows**, and ah, we began to really be very concerned
about what all of this meant. Ah, and some of us were staff people, and
some of the leadership among the strikers, those that we could lay hands
on where we were, began to grab a hold of these people and pull them
back into the march to, to, to sort of bring this to a halt. Ah, after a
while, the police themselves, this apparently, not necessarily on the
cue, but certainly at, on command, ah, began to wade into the crowd and
began to, to beat people, they began to, you know, really truss people
up a bit, and we were quite concerned because the march was filled with
all kinds of people who had come to participate.
